Learning of Christ

[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series]

Through ages men devised,
a spectrum of belief –
their fears sought something that supplied
a possible relief.

Preoccupied, and rare
to show compassion, love,
for others’ needs to care
and help, assistance give.

But when of Christ they hear,
and see compassion real,
so many vile things disappear
as like concern they feel.

Wives soon their husbands find
to drunkenness less prone,
fathers responsible and kind
support, their work well done.

And women gain respect,
not treated as mere slaves,
so more fulfilled, and can expect
the honest work they crave.
Tune: LM

Inspiring Compassion. The last verse, on women in society is especially good and it should be so. Sisters are doing it for themselves.

Have a great week! && Nolan

Thanks. Some people try to claim that Christianity is hard on women, but it has always been truly liberating in the best all-round sense, and brought respect and value to women where it is embraced. There is a complimentatiry in the kind of work undertaken, each helping the other with their different skills and approaches to strengthn society.

I hope your week goes well too! Rhiannon
